LineageOS, a popular alternative to standard Android operating systems, has just released its latest version, LineageOS 21, based on Android 14. Coming into the game five months after Android 14’s debut, this update might seem late, but it stands out for its focus on quality and stability. LineageOS has built a reputation for delivering a bloatware-free, extensively tested OS, making it a go-to for Android enthusiasts seeking stability.

With LineageOS 21, users get all the core features of Android 14, plus some exclusive additions that improve the user experience. A highlight is the introduction of Glimpse, a new gallery app replacing the default Gallery2, offering improved features for managing photos and videos. Additionally, the update revamps the Aperture camera app with Material You design principles, ensuring a more intuitive and aesthetically pleasing user interface.

The update doesn’t stop there; the Jelly browser has been redesigned with improved privacy controls, and staple apps like LatinIME, Calculator, and Messaging have also received Material You updates, aligning with the modern design language of Android.

LineageOS 21 is currently available for a limited selection of devices. Users interested in upgrading can check device compatibility on the official LineageOS downloads page.
